"I spent a weekend at the Altamira, Ibagué for a wedding. The location is good if you have a car, but it’s a little off the beaten path if you don’t. However, for this same reason, it’s quiet. I was there during the World Cup and they had huge screens at the restaurant and next to the swimming pool. That was a cool add on. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable and the bathroom is OK. All the furniture is a little dated and in need of a makeover. The breakfast buffet was plentiful for Colombian standards and the à la carte menu was surprisingly good. I had a sushi roll one night and it was excellent. I would definitely stay at the Altamira on a future visit to Ibagué.
On a side note, Ibagué impressed me. It’s not exactly beautiful, like most intermediate cities in Colombia, but it has lovely surroundings, mountains on the eastern side, plains on the wester one, the roads are impeccable and the weather is near perfect. Food is OK. The typical staples are lechona (roasted pork) and tamales, none my cup of tea."
